God is talking directly to you every single day. But are you getting the messages? Divine Intelligence is constantly communicating through signs from God, synchronicities, intuitive nudges, and powerful moments we often overlook or dismiss. In this episode of Soul Elevation with Kara Goodwin, I share recent, real-life examples of how divine messages show up, and just how easy it is to miss them when we're not tuned in. You'll learn why so many of us miss signs from the universe, how to recognize when God is talking to you, and how to train yourself to better receive divine guidance. If you've been asking how to hear God more clearly or wondering if the universe is speaking to you, this conversation will help you strengthen your connection and trust the messages you're already receiving. This episode is for you if you're on a spiritual awakening journey and want to deepen your ability to receive higher consciousness, energy healing, and cosmic wisdom.

Kate Bradley Chernis spent over a decade figuring out how to use sound to make strangers feel like friends. At Sirius/XM, she was building 200-layer audio files for 30-second commercials. Next, she was infusing radio theory into a generative AI platform before most people knew what generative AI was. Now at Backline EQ, she's using the same instinct, that sound tells you things a transcript never could, to engineer human connection at scale. This conversation covers all of it: the neuroscience, the pivots, and the parts of the journey she rarely shares out loud.In this episode:The theater of the mind and why it's the foundation of trust: when your brain constructs the story rather than receiving it passively, it taps into nostalgia, memory, and emotion — the three keystones of why we buy, connect, and believeWhy your eyes lie but your ears don't — Kate's case that sound is the most honest and hardest-to-trick human sense, and what that means for AI tools that rely entirely on transcriptsThe "rules of radio" Kate embedded into Lately's AI — word choices like "remember" versus "don't forget" that trigger different emotional responses, drawn from her training in the neuroscience of music and parasocial connectionHow Backline EQ outperformed the Microsoft/IBM/Google industry-standard language model (MFCC) by 70% in measuring team fit — using voice patterns alone, without transcriptionKate's vulnerable disclosure about a difficult period in her life after eleven years building a company and how her mother's reminder that she was a prodigy at six became the unexpected anchor that helped her begin againThe investor who finally told her to stop inventing something new and just make existing technology better and how that single pivot made everything easier for the first time in over a decadeContent Warning: This episode includes a brief discussion of suicidal ideation. The conversation is handled with care and context, but we want our listeners to be prepared.If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 — the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline — available 24/7 in both the US and Canada.Episode Highlights:00:00 - Podcast Welcome and Content Warning00:17 - Sound Design Obsession01:20 - Meet Kate Bradley Chernis03:32 - Kinder Egg Smuggling Story04:13 - From Radio to AI05:56 - Theater of the Mind10:23 - Why Sound Builds Trust12:36 - Building Lately Secret Sauce15:23 - Voice Control and Trust21:18 - Staying Human in AI28:58 - Leaving XM and Starting Up34:27 - Early Genius, Confidence and Reinvention36:26 - Self Love and Authenticity38:38 - Imposter Syndrome Scale39:15 - Resume Exercise for Confidence42:29 - Trusting Your Gut44:10 - Loneliness and Standing Up47:05 - Entrepreneurship Lessons52:05 - Rebuilding The Village56:19 - Backline EQ Pivot01:01:37 - Patterns and the Bridge01:06:49 - Collecting Data the Hard Way01:09:56 - Sound As A Force01:11:22 - Return on Collisions01:13:20 - Saying No and Self Care01:16:57 - Closing Thanks and OutroResources mentioned:This Is Your Brain on Music — Daniel LevitinThe Art of the Start — Guy KawasakiBackline EQ Live Conversations — Kate's audio salons, every other Thursday at 2:00 PM EasternMFCC (Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients) — industry language model standard Kate's technology was benchmarked againstQuotes:“Your eyes lie. They can lie to you, but sound doesn't.” - Kate Bradley Chernis“Often people will focus so much on their life condition rather than, "No, I'm here for a reason. I just need to maybe alter the blueprint." That doesn't mean lower your expectations, it just may mean shift your standards. Shift the way you're gonna get there, timeline, trajectory.” - Dwayne Kerrigan“You have to start measuring. You have to start collecting data.” - Kate Bradley Chernis“I can make people I can't see feel like they belong. It's more than that. I can make you feel like with a conversation that is either as powerful or more powerful than if we were eye to eye in real life. That's how transcendent sound is. There's a magic there that is, well, it's magical. It's fantastical.” - Kate Bradley Chernis“Entrepreneurship's f***ing hard. This is a gladiator sport. And there is no substitute for the constant and never-ending courage that you need to have inside this, this arena.” - Dwayne KerriganAbout Kate Bradley Chernis:Kate Bradley Chernis is an early Generative AI visionary who co-founded the first closed-data, proprietary machine learning and natural language processing platform in 2014. She is the co-founder and CEO of the Backline Network, which uses curated audio-only salons to capture real-time conversational dynamics and convert them into AI that predicts and engineers group chemistry at scale. Before her career in AI, Kate spent over a decade as a rock 'n' roll radio DJ, serving 20 million listeners daily as Music Director and on-air host at Sirius/XM.

Fraudish welcomes guest Kathy Chambers, connected through LinkedIn, to discuss storytelling as a driver of change and effective marketing in cyber and fraud. Kathy shares her path from radio/TV degrees and 10+ years as a TV news producer to University of Florida media director, then pivoting during COVID to ITProTV, where she hosted 250+ audit episodes and later the Certified Ethical Hacker series, falling in love with cybersecurity's “drama” and later its protective mission. She describes producing a cybersecurity show, quickly booking major industry names, and networking through conferences like Wireless Hacking Fest. They discuss how stories—not statistics—stick in presentations, fraud, and cyber marketing, criticizing generic “AI-powered” messaging and advocating people-centered narratives, even via scenarios when privacy blocks details.

I'm reflecting on the energies I am experiencing as we are in this eclipse window. I've had a couple of days this week that have seemed truly strange, where reality itself has felt very peculiar. I've also noticed recurring themes. As I share my own experience, feel into your own life and notice what has been different for you. As you go along in your own life, it can be easy to get caught up in the day to day and not zoom out to take in the bigger picture. Major planetary events like eclipses are important opportunities for reflection and observation of what is happening in your life.  Franco episodes: https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/Franco-Romero2 https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/Franco-Romero Activations episode: https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/activations Register for How Art Heals: https://lonnakellerdesigns.com/pages/how-art-heals-summit-1

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4cNKVg3 David Bahnsen hosts the Friday Dividend Cafe from Southern California and previews his new book, Profit from the Profit, releasing Tuesday, explaining it reflects the same message he has shared weekly since starting the commentary during the September 2008 financial crisis and later branding it Dividend Cafe in 2015. He outlines an investment philosophy focused on connecting client outcomes to real business profits and prioritizing what companies do over market sentiment, arguing dividend growth investing seeks sustainable returns from company cash flows and dividends rather than relying on investor psychology. Bahnsen explains why he discusses macro headlines even though he avoids frequent portfolio changes, emphasizing a bottom-up approach intended to be insulated from news. He recounts learning these lessons after the dot-com bust and highlights dividend growth's withdrawal and accumulation benefits, with upcoming book topics including taxes, volatility, and how investors should profit from profits via durable dividends. 00:00 Welcome and Book Launch 01:04 How Dividend Cafe Began 03:03 Core Philosophy of Profits 06:12 Sentiment Versus Fundamentals 09:22 News Commentary Without Trading 11:59 Personal Journey to Dividends 15:13 Key Themes From the New Book 17:01 Closing Thanks and Commitment Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Have you ever tried meditation and thought: “Why can't I just stop thinking?”The goal of meditation isn't always to think about nothing. Sometimes meditation is about learning how your mind works.Many people struggle with meditation because they believe they're supposed to completely quiet their thoughts, empty their mind, and become perfectly still.But what if meditation can work differently?In this episode of The Constance Messmer Podcast, I'm exploring how to meditate with an ADHD mind, a busy mind, or a mind that naturally jumps between ideas and awareness.Rather than forcing your brain into stillness, I invite you to discover meditation practices that engage your awareness — including body relaxation, Vipassana meditation, walking meditation, visualization, and focused observation, even if only on the breath.

The host interviews Coach Egypt Glover, a 26-year-old new varsity head coach at Creative Connections Arts Academy in North Highlands, California, who shares his path from growing up in South Central LA in a sports-focused family to playing travel basketball, attending Merced College, and gaining early unpaid experience as a student assistant under coach Bill Russell. After high school he built a box-truck logistics business (now a four-vehicle fleet pursuing a fifth), started a security company serving about 11 sites, and purchased a fourplex with plans for transitional housing. Glover explains how research, commitment, passion, and team-building—crediting his wife Lauryn—drove his entrepreneurship, and how networking led to coaching roles from middle school head coach to varsity assistant to JV head coach. He outlines his coaching philosophy emphasizing fundamentals, defense, buy-in, grades/behavior/practice, calm leadership, and winning on and off the court.00:00 Meet Coach Glover01:15 South Central Roots03:12 High School Turning Point03:57 Entrepreneur Detour06:04 First Coaching Breaks08:03 Middle School Culture Build10:22 Climbing to Varsity13:43 New Head Coach Mission14:47 Business Deep Dive18:01 Trucking to Fleet Growth20:41 Security Company Scaling22:21 Real Estate Wealth Play25:40 Business Mindset Blueprint29:20 Coaching Pay and Purpose31:22 Networking Over Job Boards33:40 High School Sports Boom34:24 Breaking Into Coaching35:38 Defining Coaching Greatness39:53 Head Coach Reality Check41:23 Building Staff and Culture45:40 Receiving Feedback Well49:08 Fall Priorities Fundamentals52:03 Managing Emotions and Refs56:39 Identity and Burn Boats59:47 Changing Minds and Pruning01:02:38 Closing Thanks and Next Steps

Dr. Kate Gfeller on Supporting Families After a Hearing Loss Diagnosis and Music with Cochlear ImplantsChristine interviews Dr. Kate Gfeller about what it means for families when a child is diagnosed with hearing loss, emphasizing that testing and diagnosis can be tricky, hearing loss may be unstable, and children's development varies widely so “one size does not fit all.” She describes the emotional, social, and practical burdens on parents who must navigate variable professional guidance, limited incidental learning for the child, and the challenge of finding accurate information and supportive communities. Gfeller notes cochlear implant users often benefit from connecting with other users and mentions a free informational website. The host shares how conventions and programs with panels of implanted kids helped her. Gfeller also discusses music: cochlear implants transmit music poorly, but rhythm can be accessible, listening can improve skills, and interested kids should be supported by specialized teachers or music therapists.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:30 Diagnosis and Testing Challenges02:51 Emotional and Social Burden04:14 Support Groups and Resources05:41 Finding Community Through Events06:23 Kids First Care Model07:47 Music and Cochlear Implants09:14 Let Kids Explore Interests09:43 Closing Thanks

You Deserve to Feel Light Again | Your Quiet Moment EP342 Sometimes the heaviest thing you carry isn't a responsibility — it's the weight of everything you've been holding without realizing it. In this episode, we explore what it means to let yourself feel light again, not because your problems are solved, but because you deserve moments of ease in the middle of it all. We talk about how heaviness shows up — as irritability, fatigue, numbness — and how the smallest act of release can create space for something lighter. You don't need a grand plan. You just need one honest breath and one moment of letting go. Join me for gentle affirmations, a calming breathing exercise, and a reminder that lightness isn't something you earn — it's something you allow yourself to feel.

Host Pete Deeley welcomes back Professor Kenny Kim to discuss when martial arts became a lifelong path for him, starting at age four or five and realizing by high school he wanted a future in martial arts. Kim shares how training helped him overcome racism, bullying, and childhood shyness by building confidence and a desire to lead and teach, even while competing. He describes a major period of disillusionment in his late 20s/early 30s: business stress from running an academy since age 20–21, debt around $100,000, selling his academy for $100,000 to reset, briefly pursuing home inspection and then thriving as a personal trainer before returning to open a new school in 2006. Kim credits close teammates and world champions for shaping him and emphasizes humility, aging as a privilege, and giving back. He also previews Mat Made's expansion: matmade.com now hosts short stories and a large U.S. jiu-jitsu directory with 7,000+ listings and a rebooted, raw vlog-style academy-visit series.   00:00 Welcome and Sponsors 00:58 Kenny Kim Returns 01:48 Martial Arts Beginnings 03:47 Confidence Through Training 06:01 Competitor to Teacher 07:53 Burnout and Debt Spiral 11:39 Starting Over in 2006 14:53 Hustle and Self Learning 16:51 Brothers and Mentors 18:57 Legacy Humility Giving Back 21:52 Mat Made Directory Expansion 23:37 New Raw Vlog Series 25:14 Closing Thanks and Farewell

Trigger warning This episode includes discussions of vicarious trauma, suicide, child death, sudden death and breast cancer. What happens when you've achieved the career you once dreamed of... but something inside you knows it no longer fits? In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde sits down with former Deputy State Coroner Jacqui Hawkins to explore what it means to walk away from a prestigious career, navigate burnout, and reconnect with yourself after years of putting achievement first. Jacqui shares her deeply personal journey through vicarious trauma, motherhood, breast cancer and reinvention, along with the practices that helped her quiet the noise and trust her inner wisdom. In this episode: What it feels like to succeed in a career that no longer feels aligned. The hidden impact of vicarious trauma and chronic stress.

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We sat down with Paul Desmarais III, the Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Sagard, the fast-growing $46B global multi-strategy alternative asset manager.We were live from Berlin, which becomes the “capital of private capital” in June as private equity industry leaders make the annual pilgrimage to the city for one of the marquee private equity conferences, SuperReturn Berlin.With Prosek Partners and former Bloomberg TV journalist Deirdre Bolton as my producer, along with her team, we took over a Tiny Space cabin to hold big conversations with some of the industry's leading alternative asset managers.Sagard combines a rich history and heritage of building asset management businesses with a modern approach to building a global alternative asset manager.Paul's deep understanding of the industry comes from being part of a family of multiple generations of asset management pioneers in Canada who have built some of the industry's largest financial services businesses. Paul is the “next first generation” of asset management pioneers to come out of the Desmarais family. He started Sagard with $400M in seed capital in 2016 and, in ten short years, has grown the platform into a global multi-strategy alternative asset manager with over $46B. Sagard's mission to empower founders by being a business that builds businesses shines through in the approach Paul and the team have taken in building Sagard. The firm has incubated, built, and acquired asset management talent and firms to scale across strategy and geography into the global platform that it is today.Paul and I had a fascinating conversation about the business of asset management and why Sagard exists to serve entrepreneurs around the world. We covered:Sagard's entrepreneurial DNA.What does it mean to build a business that builds businesses?Being the “next first generation.”How Sagard approaches the buy, build, partner framework of asset management businesses.How Sagard has expanded its platform across asset classes and strategies.How to build a global, multi-strategy asset management brand.Why specialization matters in asset management.How to approach the wealth channel.The decentralized pod shop model.The future of private markets.BioPaul Desmarais III is the Chairman and CEO of Sagard, an alternative asset management firm active in venture capital, private equity, credit, and real estate.Paul has led Sagard since 2016, along with a handful of close partners bound by a common vision: partnering with entrepreneurs to catalyze transformation in our investments and communities.

From AIDS 2026 in Rio de Janeiro, host Ben Plumley talks with International AIDS Society Young Leaders Edmond Soko (Zambia, Grassroots Soccer) and Noah Mancuso (Atlanta, Emory/RTI) about where the HIV epidemic is heading. Edmond describes using soccer-based, play-focused curricula to deliver HIV prevention education and reach rural adolescents who struggle to access services. Noah outlines three posters: a systematic review on barriers and facilitators to injectable PrEP for adolescent girls and young women, an analysis of how US federal funding cuts affect geographic access to PrEP in Atlanta, and a review of 20 years of mobile health interventions showing limited translation into real-world apps. They discuss new prevention innovations like a monthly pill and a weekly prevention pill with earlier access planning, the promise and risks of AI and telehealth for reducing stigma and improving access, shifting funding realities, and ongoing activism and optimism for epidemic control. 00:00 Welcome to AIDS 2026 00:50 Meet the Young Leaders 01:24 Edmond's Grassroots Soccer Work 03:00 Noah's Path into HIV Research 04:09 Posters and New Findings 07:12 Soccer as Prevention Strategy 08:30 Conference Vibe and Tensions 10:24 New Prevention Innovations 12:11 Careers and Funding Cut Reality 13:34 Optimism and Activism 17:03 AI and Digital Health Trends 21:46 Telehealth Access and Stigma 25:16 Next Generation Takeaways 27:10 Closing Thanks and Sign Off AIDS 2026 https://www.iasociety.org/conferences/aids2026 Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

Paul Espinosa on Escaping the Box: From Gang Life to Family, Work, and Giving Back On the Your Message Received podcast, host John Duffin continues his conversation with California-based educator and lecturer Paul Espinosa, who is writing a book called Survival of the Psyche. Paul describes growing up as a shy “observer” with big dreams, feeling trapped in a cultural “box,” and seeking belonging. The dual vision also included money and the powerful lure of gang life. Listen to Paul explain the meaning of “homie love” in gang life while knowing it carried high costs. He explains the exhaustion of living two roles—gang member and family man—and how a gun confrontation, trade school, and a client's offer to work construction helped him experience life outside the box. Paul credits his wife's ultimatum and relocation with pushing real change. He now speaks in schools and works in jail programs, designing curriculum on topics like anger management and substance awareness, emphasizing authenticity, brain development, and his critical message that people can choose their actions but not the consequences.Paul's message is so powerful, and Paul Espinosa's storytelling is spellbinding. You'll get to walk the tightrope with us, as Paul vividly describes this dual, conflicting former life- the high cost of living that life- and the beautiful road of redemption and service. I am so grateful to have Paul Espinosa as my friend. Watching his uplifting story unfold is a sheer joy. I am confident that you'll be mesmerized by this episode.

In this episode of AIDS 2060, Ben explores how the climate crisis may disrupt the global HIV response with diplomat, author, and podcaster Arthur Snell, marking the U.S. launch of Snell's book Elemental: The New Geography of Climate Change and How We Survive It. They discuss climate-driven population movements globally (from the Sahel to Central America and even within the U.S.), the political rise of hard-line migration policies, and how populism and disinformation can undermine science-based health and climate action. Snell outlines Africa's potential as an energy superpower through critical minerals, agriculture, and renewable electricity exports enabled by new transmission technology, while Ben notes HIV risks linked to large male workforces and urban migration. The conversation also covers wildfire-related health impacts, pandemic risks from warming and thawing regions, and the need to rebuild trust and plan for food security and mobility beyond 2030. 00:00 Climate Crisis Meets HIV 01:29 Introducing Arthur Snell 02:10 Snell's Diplomatic Journey 06:20 Surviving a Hotter World 09:02 Climate Migration Goes Global 13:37 Heat and Relocation in the West 17:35 Africa's Energy Opportunity 20:44 Renewables and Global Power Grids 25:02 HIV Risks in New Economies 27:31 Populism and Misinformation 29:29 Populism Meets Denial 30:32 Net Zero Under Attack 32:09 Disaster Spin Machine 34:17 HIV Echoes Populism 37:01 Brexit Lessons on Emotion 39:13 Wildfires Health Toll 42:35 Firefighting and Solidarity 44:21 Thawing Ice Pandemic Risk 47:47 Trust Over Technocracy 50:46 Mobility Food and Futures 02:18 Closing Thanks and Next Steps Check out Arthur's Book: Elemental: The New Geography of Climate Change and How We Survive it https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/elemental-the-new-geography-of-climate-change-and-how-we-survive-it-the-first-comprehensive-account-of-the-geopolitics-of-climate-change-arthu Check out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

Eric Olander, editor-in-chief of the China Global South Project, joins the pod to discuss the developments on the other side of the globe. From Ho Chi Minh City, Eric explains how the Global South actually sees the US-Iran war, why nobody expects China to ride to anyone's rescue, and how Vietnam's tariff and energy shocks became a never-again moment. He and Jacob dig into the myth that tariffs can implode China, America's fading China literacy, and why the next order won't be Chinese-led - but China will be its transformational character.*Note: There are some weird buzzing sounds in the pod, we know!

On this episode of CFO at Home, Vince's guest is attorney Stephanie Prestridge of Life Claim, who helps families when life insurance benefits are delayed, denied, or disputed after a death. Stephanie shares how seeing her typically strong grandmother get overwhelmed by legal matters after her grandfather's Parkinson's diagnosis shaped her shift into estate-related work with an emphasis on a client-centered approach. Vince and Stephanie then discuss the importance of estate and financial planning working together, with direct communication between attorneys and financial advisors. They also discuss what happens when someone dies without clear documentation, and some of the reasons life insurance claims get held up.

You Can Feel at Home in This MomentToday we're exploring a quiet but powerful truth: you don't have to feel at home to be at home. So many of us spend our lives searching for belonging — waiting until we reach a certain place, achieve a certain thing, or find a certain people before we let ourselves relax and feel like we truly belong. But what if home isn't a destination? What if it's a state of being you can access right now, exactly where you are?We'll gently unpack the habit of looking for peace outside ourselves, and try a simple breathwork practice to help you reconnect with that inner sense of ease and belonging — the kind of home that travels with you wherever you go.---TOPICS: belonging, peace, presence, self-compassion, letting go, mindfulness, home, inner safety---AFFIRMATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:• I feel at home in my own skin.• My sense of belonging is not dependent on anyone else's approval.• I carry peace with me wherever I go.• I am exactly where I need to be in this moment.• Home is not a place I have to earn. It is my natural state.• I release the need to perform or pretend in order to belong.• I am allowed to take up space exactly as I am.• I belong to this moment, and this moment has been waiting for me.---TIMESTAMPS:[00:00] Opening[01:15] Settling In[02:30] The Theme — Belonging Lives Inside You[05:00] Breathwork — Breathing in a Sense of Home[06:30] Affirmations[07:15] Closing---Thank you for spending this quiet moment with us.

HIV prevention advocate Siviwe Gaika urges policymakers, governments, and donors to expand the HIV prevention “choice basket,” emphasizing long-acting injectable PrEP (cabotegravir) as WHO-recommended, safe, and highly effective, and calling for funding, youth-friendly delivery, streamlined national guidelines, and transparent accountability; she also acknowledges Glggobal Fund investment and South Africa's commitment to long-acting innovation and local manufacturing. In the AIDS 2060 episode, host Ben interviews APHA executive director Yvette Raphael about why the world is not on track to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030, the impact of shifting U.S. funding, and the need for country-led responses, health sovereignty, and dignity for key populations. Raphael centers feminist prevention advocacy, the Choice Manifesto, intergenerational leadership, better trial inclusion and post-trial access, and warns about misinformation on social media. 00:00 Youth Prevention Reality 00:55 Meet Yvette Raphael 02:21 Are We On Track 06:02 Funding Shockwaves 08:39 Self Reliance Now 12:04 Southern Led Response 15:55 Why Prevention Matters 20:41 Choice Manifesto Fight 23:15 Africa As A Market 25:51 Youth Boom Stakes 30:12 Let Youth Lead 31:49 Mentoring Future Leaders 33:01 Message to Our Future Selves 34:27 Pregnancy in Clinical Trials 38:25 Post Trial Access Rights 40:53 Why Youth Still Fear HIV 42:27 Social Media Misinformation 45:58 Health Sovereignty and Aid 50:31 Documenting Community Lessons 52:47 Pan African Collaboration 55:22 Let Young People Thrive 57:00 Closing Thanks and Next Steps Advocates for the Prevention of HIV in Africa https://www.apha.org.za Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

In this episode, Jennifer Saha interviews Jordan Burris, who leads Socure's public sector business using AI to verify identity and predict fraud risk, drawing on his prior work in digital trust and as chief of staff to the U.S. CIO. Burris argues fraudsters—helped by digitized services and modern AI tools—are outpacing government, making old identity-proofing standards and “bouncer-at-the-club” checks insufficient at scale. They discuss how pandemic-era “pay and chase” benefit delivery created losses that are often unrecoverable once funds move overseas, and why agencies must shift to layered, preventative controls that reduce friction for legitimate users. Burris cites efforts in California (EDD, CalHEERS/ACA enrollment, DMV) and other states, and emphasizes sharing risk signals across agencies and with transparent vendor partners without broad PII transfer. He predicts success will mean manageable fraud rates and better citizen experience, with accountability led by senior agency leadership and organization-wide vigilance similar to cybersecurity. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:28 Jordan Burris Background 02:55 Why Fraud Is Surging 05:43 How Identity Checks Fail 07:49 Pay and Chase Breakdown 11:42 Building Prevention Programs 13:47 States Leading the Way 17:58 Breaking Data Silos 23:32 Five Year Fraud Outlook 26:06 Who Owns Fraud Risk 29:31 Closing Thanks and Wrap

Today on the Plant Cunning Podcast, Isaac and AC welcome back Will Morris, PhD, DAOM, MSEd, LAc, RH, a interdisciplinary healer and scholar whose work spans traditional Western and Vedic astrology, Chinese medicine, pulse diagnosis, sound healing, and education. Will explains his compulsive, spiritually driven path across traditions and how transdisciplinary study reveals shared underlying structures, including medical frameworks of location, process, and severity and recurring 12-fold patterns across nature and culture. He critiques mainstream scientific testing of astrology as method-driven, politically shaped, and often logically flawed, arguing the right assessment depends on the question and may require qualitative approaches. The conversation explores intuition, divination versus science, horary use in clinical settings, dreamwork and oneirobotany, mugwort's shamanic origins, catnip's “wind” associations, and Will's upcoming books, including Evidence Ecology: Science and Astrology.02:10 Why Study Many Traditions?03:39 Life Path Music to Astrology08:36 The Benefits of Transdisciplinary Studies12:00 The Science Industry and Astrology13:13 Is Astrology Divination or Science?19:31 Testing Astrology Properly27:59 Clinical Astrology in Practice31:07 Book of Dreams and Yesod32:48 Dreamwork Pulse and Herbs36:59 Sedative Herbs Mix37:10 Catnip and Wind Pathology39:08 Eight Winds and Charts40:32 Wind as Science Debate41:23 Dream Plants: Mugwort42:17 Dybbuk Clearing Story44:58 Artemisia and Dreamwork49:08 Cycles and Plant Motion51:47 Pan Celestial Thesis01:01:24 Land, Climate and Relocation01:05:16 Universalism vs Relativism01:08:15 Books and Future Projects01:13:45 Closing Thanks

On the Contacts Coaching Podcast, Justin interviews Jake Van Hofwegen, athletic director and assistant principal at Beaumont High School in Southern California, about his path into athletic administration and why Beaumont became a dream job after roles at Coachella Valley and Colton.

Anika Sweetland argues the IPCC was created through politics, funding, and elite influence, tracing its origins to the 1985 Villach Conference and alleging it advances centralized global governance. She says media-driven fear shifted from 1970s “ice age” stories to 1988 “global warming,” citing sea-level warnings that did not occur. Sweetland claims climate finance and clean-energy investment incentives benefit IPCC-linked officials. She highlights Climategate emails as evidence of strategic data presentation (“hide the decline”), message management, and peer-review gatekeeping (“PAL review”), plus an alleged journal blacklist. She says her climate studies education omitted Climategate, emphasized policy “solutions,” and discouraged debate.00:00 IPCC Exposed Intro01:01 Ice Age Media Panic02:06 Fear as Control Tool03:36 Global Warming Rebrand05:23 Sea Level Scare Claims07:28 Villach Birth of IPCC09:31 Global Governance Agenda10:31 Trillions and Incentives12:20 Climategate Data Tricks18:57 Peer Review Gatekeeping21:44 Blacklists and Ideology23:31 Personal Wake Up Call25:16 Who Controls Science26:34 What We Can Do Next27:23 Host Reacts and Questions27:36 Climategate Not Taught30:10 Policy Impacts UK Europe33:15 Witch Hunts Parallel37:22 Climate Degree Brainwashing40:42 Only Graduate Story43:15 Today's Model Driven Teaching45:19 Books and IPCC Origins46:17 Closing Thanks and Wraphttps://x.com/anika_climate=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

In this second episode of AIDS2060, Ben sits down with Dr Andrew Kambugu, Executive Director of the Infectious Disease Institute at Makere University in Kampala Uganda. They discuss the state of the clinical response to HIV in Africa, and Andrew sets out a research and implementation agenda that gives equal weight to HIV prevention, treatment and diagnosis. He compares it to floor cleaning: you have to switch the water off at its source and not rely exclusively on mopping water up on the floor. In other words, African solutions for African problems of an epidemic that we know how to treat but can't control rates of infection across the continent. 00:00 AIDS 2060 episode 2 intro 02:20 Three pillar overview 02:58 Prevention breakthroughs 04:19 Treatment momentum risks 06:00 Injectables and dual therapy 08:24 Integrating chronic care 10:12 Circumcision and ownership 14:07 Rethinking optimization 20:03 Africa led R & D 26:02 Africa CDC and AMA 27:42 Building Regulatory Capacity 28:21 Private Sector Momentum 29:37 Uganda Manufacturing Model 31:55 Academia Industry R&D 33:35 Africa Research Priorities 36:44 Biotech and Diagnostics 44:55 Funding and Innovation 49:51 Closing Thanks and Outro Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

David Bujnicki, senior vice president of investor relations and strategy at Kimco Realty(NYSE: KIM), joined the REIT Report podcast to discuss the significant changes that have occurred across the investor relations landscape. The importance of understanding your audience, leveraging technology, educating and managing expectations, and soliciting feedback were among the main themes addressed.Bujnicki described how the focus of investor relations has shifted from net asset value and portfolio management to earnings growth and how companies are managing their cost of capital. He attributed this to the continued rise of passive investors and hedge funds that are more short-term focused. He emphasized the importance of adapting IR strategies to cater to the evolving needs of these investors.Furthermore, educating investors on operational fundamentals has become crucial, Bujnicki said. He noted that while Kimco's operating fundamentals are at their best, it is essential to help investors understand why earnings growth may not always reflect that reality. Informing investors about the longer timelines involved in real estate transactions can help manage these expectations more effectively, he noted.Chapters: 00:00 Flexible Disclosures00:28 Welcome to REIT Report00:53 IR Changes Decade01:25 From NAV to Earnings03:32 Educating Investors Today05:25 Capital Allocation Levers06:39 Staying Long Term08:06 Pivoting in Crises08:44 AI in Investor Relations10:57 Investor Feedback Loop12:59 Future IR Priorities14:12 Symposium Takeaways15:58 Closing Thanks

Embodiment and Trust: Why Human Connection Is Pediatrics' SuperpowerIn this Pediatric Lounge episode, hosts Herb and George welcome back Dr. Sian Jones-Jobst, MD, to discuss how, amid AI, misinformation, consolidation, and workforce shortages, the pediatrician–family relationship remains irreplaceable because pediatrics is “the embodiment business,” built on vulnerability, trust, and continuity over years. They explore how misinformation on social media drives parents to seek trusted voices, how limited visit time and EHR “mechanics” undermine relationship-building, and why adolescent care often requires more time. Dr. Sian contrasts relationship-based medical homes with transactional care, emphasizes team culture (staff introductions and continuity), and argues practices serve communities through leadership beyond the exam room. They discuss correcting misinformation through motivation, conversation, and shared decision-making, challenges around newborn vaccine consent and declining prenatal visits, burnout as broken relationships, gratitude as a leadership practice, and the need to invest in children and pediatrics for the country's future.00:00 Podcast Intro00:50 Why Embodiment Matters01:40 Misinformation And Trust04:14 Vulnerability In Care05:39 Time Versus Mechanics10:16 Adolescents Need Time11:30 Continuity Superpower14:33 When Care Turns Transactional15:51 Team Culture And Names18:43 Pediatrics In The Community21:27 MBAs And Practice Survival24:47 Rebuilding Real Community27:24 Relationships Beat Facts28:58 Online Echo Chambers30:56 Trust and Media Diet31:44 Correcting Misinformation33:37 Shared Decisions and HPV35:21 Personalizing Guidelines38:27 Vaccine Conversations That Work40:37 Newborn Consent and Humanity44:14 Prenatal Visits and Continuity48:05 Burnout and Broken Bonds49:18 Joyful Practice and Gratitude55:33 Investing in Children57:42 Closing Thanks and SignoffSupport the show

Anna Leah describes creating LimitlessPower2Connect.com and a children's book on emotional intelligence and the emotion wheel, supported by a CASA grant to distribute resources to kids in the court system.

Host Dr. Adam Dorsay interviews developmental psychologist Dr. Alexis Redding, faculty co-chair of higher education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and editor of Mental Health in College, about supporting college student mental health. Redding explains the book emerged from connecting experts who cared about students but weren't in conversation, and argues mental health support matters for student engagement, belonging, retention, and the broader developmental work colleges can foster. Drawing on archival interviews from the 1940s and 1970s and contemporary studies of the classes of 2025–2026, she finds core emotions like loneliness and insecurity during transitions remain consistent across generations, despite changes like COVID and social media. She recommends avoiding a constant crisis narrative, training staff to ask clarifying questions about clinical language, and replacing “kids these days” and “best four years” stories with more nuance and vulnerability.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:49 Meet Alexis Redding02:16 Why This Book Exists04:56 Mental Health Pays Off07:55 Loneliness Then and Now10:37 Roommate Mirror Effect13:45 Transitions Shape Wellbeing16:46 Are Kids Really Different20:33 TikTok Therapy Language26:18 Stop the Crisis Narrative29:29 Ditch Kids These Days35:26 Archeology and Connection38:43 Vulnerability as the Skill43:16 Closing Thanks and SubscribeHelpful Links:Dr. Alexis ReddingMental Health in College - What Research Tells Us About Supporting Students BookDr. Alexis Redding Instagram

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: Religion IS Political [Part VII of VII]This final episode of this series is our response to the point of view that Jesus did not ‘get political'. Jesus (and each of us) cannot avoid being political. We state our “politics” with each stance to either uphold or resist dominator hierarchies. And Jesus' whole ministry can be defined by resistance to any system that placed the life of any human being over the life of any other human being. Listen to this episode to answer for yourself the following questions: Did the actual Jesus of Nazareth embody radical love for all human beings and speak strongly and often about very "political" topics?  Or did claim neutrality in a way that left those of his time uncertain about how he felt about authoritarian power structures and their treatment of "the least of these"? Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Series Finale02:06 Recap of Episodes One to Six05:01 Liberation Jesus or Empire Mascot06:42 Scripture Lenses and Competing Jesuses08:47 Jesus of Nazareth vs Christ of Empire12:48 Refusing Power and Inner Kingdom20:30 Flattening Margins and Social Norms27:58 Good Samaritan and Bad Laws Today34:42 Challenging Religious Gatekeeping40:05 Taking Jesus Name Through Action43:23 Love Over Fear God Image47:06 Closing Thanks and Fellowship InviteSupport the showSupport the showJoin The Live FellowshipListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODESFriday Episodes Annual Access $89Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10Valerie's Support & Processing GroupsGift a ScholarshipDownload Free ResourcesVisit our Website
